• David Cameron endured a torrid
post-conference return to Westminster this week, over Andrew Mitchell,
Rebekah Brooks and his muddled announcement on energy bills.
The prime minister continues to stand by the Tory chief whip, who
remains in office - opening the door for Ed Miliband to launch a
blistering attack
on them both at PMQs yesterday - comparing Mitchell's treatment to
that which would befall a yob who'd sworn at police ("while it's a night
in the cell for yobs, it's a night at the Carlton Club for the chief
whip"), saying under Cameron "there’s one rule for those at the top, one
rule for everyone else". Watch the video of the exchange and read the
full transcript here.
A ghost from the past also came back to trouble the Tory leader this
week - with the revelation of 'secret' emails between himself and
Rebekah Brooks, an issue also raised at PMQs; read more on the messages
hidded from the Leveson Inquiry, and watch Chris Bryant's question to
the PM here.
And policy-wise, today he had to witness what was meant to be a
popular, good news story about cheaper energy bills unravel before his
eyes, to widespread mockery from the press and opposition, with some
comparing it to classic "The Thick of It" farce; for more on the actual
policy implications
